Ed, I just bought this one from Lowe's today 3gal with viton seals, Lowe's said if I have 30 days to be happy or bring back. 37.00 bucks. oh the reason I bought this one is because I notices in prevous threads that other suggested this one!

Ed did you notice that I won the All-Flo package? everything I need except the air compressor.

I got a Stanley one from Sams Club for like 50. Its like 4 gal.. I've had it now like 3 month. Oohh by the way it's a backpack one to.

Mark I just bought this one for demos or little touch ups. I have owned a dozen of pack packs I will not ever use them again I'm tired of chems leaking out of the top and dripping down my shoulder and back. and they don't last either.

I started using my All-Flo for everything, and when I'm done I blow the chems out of the line to try to recover and not waste, and then I rinse with water.

 

buy one you can rebuild. the first thing to go bad on the ones i use is the trigger. i have moved to plastic ball valves and that works good.

Congratulatins Clyde! Besides myself, youre a guy who really deserves to win the prize! As for pump sprayers, theyre all crap. Viton or no Viton, etc. I've tried em all and rinsed em out and nurtured like a baby. I made a 12v sprayer inside a Homer box for doing larger work like spraying larger cement areas or deck stripping. But sometimes you just need a little spot and thats when a pump sprayer is clutch.

Ed who is all the good fella's sitting on the bleachers, that picture is so cool.

 

I changed out my wand for a custom one. At Home Depot it cost me about 12 dollars but it a brass wand.

Clyde your absloutely right about taking back the pump. I still would like to find a pump that I didnt have to take back when it crapped out. As for the guys on the bench, theyre good friends of mine in NJ. From left to right Bill W the union lawyer from NYC, myself, Wyatt P the Federal smoke jumper, and Ed W the master carpenter. That pic was taken in January at a beach in Long Branch where Bill and Wyatt took a brave swim in the frigid water.

At lowe's they sell the gun/wand that goes on the Gilmour Pro for about $15.00

A lot of times the problem with pump up sprayers is the gun goes out first, at least in my experience so I change out the gun with a better gun like the Gilmour or the one from Northern Tools for about the same price.

I have 2 of the Gilmour Pro pump up sprayers that the pumps went out but the guns are still good. I called the company since it is past the 30 and 90 days since I bought the sprayers and the company told me to take pictures of the sprayers and mail the pictures to them and they would send me a seal kit or pump. Those sprayers have limited lifetime warranties.
